Just for the record, Walnut Creek CDROM has a CD called 'RayTrace' which
contains the source for this converter. info at cdrom.com might help you find the
author. Their website is at www.cdrom.com. Unfortunately they don't have the
sources for pdb2pov there.

I tried the source out of the box using Borland C++ but got a number of
exceptions generated ( PC term for errors ). Mostly array index problems.
For what it's worth, I ended up writting a PDB PERL script to do the
conversion. PDB files are very easy to parse.
